Coloring order

Blend Pyraxis's tall raised wings row by row: yellow near the body, orange in the middle and red toward the tips.
Alternate yellow and orange for the layered feathers on the chest and body, and add a touch of red to the crest on the head.
Finish the long, flame-like tail feathers flowing downward, and the talons, in pink and red.

Questions to talk about

Where is Pyraxis spreading its fiery wings?
After this bird flies past, what colors stay in the sky?
Can you recall a sunset or warm lamplight you have seen?

Take it further

Cut long strips from red, orange and yellow paper, overlap them into a streamer like Pyraxis's tail feathers, and hang it on the wall.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

About this image

The black-and-white line art you print and color, with scales, feathers and fur divided into areas so you can try many colors.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
